UMRAN, leading multiple educational projects, has started its new venture in Akaunha Village, Jaynagar, Madhubani Bihar, India. Akaunha is a small village in Bihar, located on the border of India and Nepal with a total of 2000 households and 4000 children. The literacy rate in Akaunha village is below 20%. Due to lack of education, children are involved in illegal activities, which has impacted their lifestyle negatively. Hence, we have decided to work for the educational needs of the village and for the sake of the future of the children.
